"Madam President, it makes me happy and proud when the European Parliament succeeds in pushing for a greener end result than that proposed by the Commission or wanted by the Member States. That is the case where this report is concerned, and it is also the case with regard to the legislation that we are to debate later on. I am very pleased that we are introducing tougher recycling requirements, as I truly believe that this is needed in order to urge the countries to introduce effective recycling systems. Citizens want to recycle more, but it is far too complicated at present. I think it is good that we are tightening up the rules and making it more difficult to export electronic waste, because, as we have heard here, this is a very bad way to influence development in Africa and other poor countries, which are currently forced to deal with our hazardous waste. I think that it would have been even better if we could have already had separate targets for small electronic devices that are quite easy to collect. However, there is a risk that this will not be done if we do not have separate targets. I hope that the Commission will present a sound proposal in this regard very soon."@en1
